The Fujifilm X-T3 - A bargain pro camera

- The Fuji X-T3 is a very capable and nowadays, very affordable camera. Personally I prefer other Fuji cameras , but here are some quick thoughts from my time using it together with the Viltrox 75mm f1.2.

Started with the XT4 and X100V, 3 years later using a XT1 and X30. To my surprise the older body’s feel much better built and more enjoyable to use IMO.
Yeah I used the T1 for years in college and loved it. Getting back into photography and have a T2 and it just doesn't have that same feeling for me. I enjoy the new features but I'm glad I'm not crazy and have seen that comment a bunch. There's something magical about xtrans 1&2 sensors
I know what you're refering to. I went out and took a bunch of amazing photos yesterday.... with my XT1. Thing is, I own the t2 and t20.
I refer to it as the Harry Potter effect. When the wand chose him. Same situation. The camera, just felt good, and no matter how many times I've put the others in my hand, they just didn't feel the same.
I have owned the xt3 since launch, and I will always own this xt3. Its part of me now. I love it. It already feels like a classic to me. 🙂😎📷👍👋
Being a 90%-time amateur/enthusiast, I own the T3 for 2 years now and use it in parallel with the T2. Fantastic cameras for photographers and occasional video shooters as I am. I prefer the T3 to the T2 for these reasons:
* better EVF with a diopter which does not change by accident - and I can tell you on my T2 this happens all the time! - The EVF now is not so much affected by pixel size as the T2, but both are way better than their small siblings in the T20, e.g.
* smooth shutter sound / shutter operation
* faster autofocus - on par with the T4
pixel count is not an argument for me to upgrade to the T5, as even "M" sized jpegs with about 12 Mpix do the job for me in most cases - only for occasional customers, I shoot RAW which I afterwards convert to full size jpegs.
Please only buy the best glass for these and you will not be disappointed - okay: eye autofocus is not quite usable in dark or backlit situations: keep in mind you will need an auxiliary light to brighten the scene, when using off-camera flash.
I picked this up with a 24mm 1.4 for $950. It also came with a lot of accessories and the original packaging. There are a lot of these in the used market and people ready to sell quickly.
I'm going to pick this camera up for the same price Body Only from Adorama
Love it. I still use my X-T2 for pro work. Not worth selling & I haven’t had a project where I absolutely needed to upgrade yet.
The only reason I don't have a full setup for Fuji is the flickering they have after you focus/take a shot. It's the aperture returning back to wide open 1 tick at a time and most people I've talked to don't notice it or can ignore it. Every time I use a Fuji I end up with a migraine due to the flicker. I tried for a month to get used to it, but still got headaches after the month of near daily use so I sold it and moved on. Maybe it's because I'm like a squirrel in that any type of movement or shift in light like that catches my attention making it near impossible to ignore and seem worse than it is.
None of my MFT, Sigma, or Pentax gear does this, so I generally use a GX85/E-M5.III for walk around use or either a Pentax KP or K-1.II for cases where I want the greater resolution or detail (the KP might be APS-C, but the detail I get in the shots makes me question selling the K-1 tbh). I've also recently been messing with a Sigma fp that I actually love despite almost every review ending with "don't buy this thing". I've had no issues with the electronic shutter, even with streetlamps, but I would like it if it had tilt screen (factory with weather sealing, not a mod) since the EVF is an expensive add on. If it had the tilt screen mechanism of the X-T2 and X-T3 then I'd be content. Then again, that goes for every camera; that two-way tilt setup is the pinnacle of tilt screen imo.
Maybe Sigma will be nice and put out another camera that's a blend of the quattro and fp shell wise giving a built in evf, x-t2/x-t3 style tilt screen with touch, same bayer sensor that doesn't make it a pain to process correctly outside of Sigma software, and the same style firmware from the fp that I actually find easy to use (and same rate of updates that makes it better and better solving most criticism early reviews had that never get updated saying Sigma listened and fixed it). Fp L sensor would be nice, I went for the cheaper fp in the end, but the still life stuff I do would work great with the increased resolution and flexibility it brings with the built-in pinch to crop/zoom. I may just buy an fp L to go with my fp if I find a body cheap enough, plan on waiting a while to see what happens with MFT stills cameras that aren't for bird watchers or to see if Pentax dies and becomes a brand name slapped on a couple half-baked film bodies possibly rebadged/outsourced.
I still use my xt-1 as a wedding cam with Nikon z6. Works great.👍 Sometimes take pictures with Nikon D700 and a 50mm F1.8. Wonderful camera as well.
I own the x-pro2 and x-t3 and for months now I have that weird feeling of not needing anything more than these two. There is nothing more to ask for.
Contentment is a strange feeling for human especially in this decade, nevertheless glad you have it.
Ha - I kinda feel the same about my X-E1. Every time I take it out, things just feel right.
IBIS
@@73rmin8r Don´t need IBIS.
@@mervynmarshall7115 I also bought a x-e2 very cheap because the previous owner erased the manufacturer and model logos quite clumsily, so I can give it an overwork. But as much as I enjoy the simplicity of the camera and the menus, I do actually miss the image quality of the higher resolution of my x-pro2.
The XT3 can do everything you could possibly throw at it. Perfect for pro use and serious enthusiasts
Getting back into photography after many years and picked up a XT3 and 23mm F2 a few months ago. It's a great camera and the Fuji community is an excellent motivator to go shoot more.
Welcome to the community. We’re not without our faults, but it’s close knit and a generally loving group.
Try the 35mm F2, it’s my favorite!
I use that set up to these day. Never switched to anything else.
@@stevemuzak8526same, I can’t imagine using any other lens to be honest
I recently bought 2 XT3s. I carry them simultaneously with 2 Fujicrons and I am happier than ever.
I really love your videos (and photos). I picked up an X-T1 and a month later, while trying to purchase a used Fujifilm lens, came home with 2 Fujifilm lenses and an X-T3 at a steal of a deal. Yes, many people are wanting to upgrade to the newest gear and letting these cameras go cheap. I shoot the X-T1 just as much as the X-T3 with really wonderful images coming from both cameras. I also shoot vintage lenses on both. I may not have the latest models but I have the best camera gear I have ever owned.
I am still enjoying using my XT2.
I got an XT3 a few months ago for a personal camera and I really love its great mixture of being completely capable of high level work in both photography and videography while still being really affordable. It’s really such an easy recommendation to pretty much anyone
Love the older Fuji sensor.... literally the X-Trans1 was the most magical.... and progressively i feel like they have lost more and more magic and they've become somewhat clinical... sony like.... the X-Pro1 in 2023 is still my favorite camera.... shot a friends wedding with my X-Pro1 and X-H1.... and when sorting through the pictures i realized just how much more i like the X-Trans1 sensor
The X-Pro line (despite the problems of the X-Pro3) are for me the perfect photographer cameras
The X-T & X-H lines are perfect if you're hybrid shooting.... although i find the X-T line doesn't feel great in the hand as the grip is just too shallow for bigger hands.... the X-H1 just feels like a nice Nikon/Canon DSLR in the hand (added advantage.... some of the Fuji lenses are quite heavy but they balance perfectly on the X-H1)
The X-Pro1/2 + 27mm for me is the perfect camera setup, insanely light and quick to use and the images just look nice
Right now i have absolutely no need to upgrade anything and the X-Pro1 will remain my daily shooter (although i grab my X70 more and more because it's just nice and tiny)
Hope Fuji brings back some of their magic with future sensors and doesn't get more clinical i want to have fun with my camera... not perform surgery! Also... death to the PSAM dial... i hate menus and like to shoot in full manual
Nice video! @0:50 you are right!
There is a FUJI for everyone. The lack of IBIS & GRIP of the X-T3 pushed me over to the X-H1. Also saved $400 going with the X-H1 ($600 used) as well.
But still the 4K 60P and 10BIT of the X-T3 was tempting.
I just received the X-T3 (upgrading from the X-E1). Very pleased indeed.
it seems that many Xt3 users ( me included ) have decided that the XT5 isnt enough of a step up in image quality alone to justify the upgrade. There are many videos on youtube demonstrating this. I think the XT3 prices will hold up on that basis and may even start to go up . I have decided I will stick to the XT3 and if I really want that step change in resolution I will add a GFX 50s11 to the XT3 . XT3, lightweight with ultra wide and super telephoto zoom and then GFX for all the in between focal lengths and super high quality landcapes and woodland work.
Can you save custom WB along with the film recipes in XT3?
Nice video. In general, I am very satisfied with my XT3. I bought a third party grip for about $30, which helps in holding the camera.
Its currently roughly £650 used on the UK market. I'd like to get that down by a good £200 before I consider it, however should it get down to that price, I think it would make a good in-between for my GR III and Nikon D3500 starter camera I've had for three years now.
I managed to get an XT3 on eBay with 600 actuations for £520
Managed to get an XT3 with battery grip and 4 original batteries for £550 on ebay yesterday. Has the xt5 and GRIII but turns out this is the happy medium
I may at some point in the future get the X-T3 but for now I'm more than happy with my X-T2 and my Canon 5d Mark II. I'm not a sports/wildlife photographer so my current setup suits me very nicely. I also have the Fringer EF-XF pro II adapter so I can use my Canon L glass with my fujifilm :)
Very nice review as always.
Totally agree on the grip. I shot with mine for 2 years before finally picking up a used grip and I’ve not removed it since except to change the internal battery. The balance is just right and given the so-so battery performance on the older models, have 3 in one unit sorts all that out.
Xt3 user since 2018 and I onestly do not feel to change, it perfectly fit my photography style.
Such a great camera.
I’m waiting for a sweet deal on an OM-D EM-1 ii to upgrade from my current EM5 ii - it’ll have to be a pretty good deal though, since the EM5 does most of what I’m looking for already. :)
The E-M1 ii is fantastic value. I love it. The E-M5 ii just doesn't have the buffer depth, as well as a few other key features. Then again it is very portable.
I think I am content with the Xpro2 and X-T2 for the time being, as nice as the X-T3 would be to have. But with that being said, using the Nikon Df has taken me away from mirrorless cameras and back to using clunky DSLRs.
Picked up a used XT3 for $500 just after the XT5 was released. Incredible value right now.
I have a full spectrum converted X-T3 and an 830nm infrared converted X-T3. Great cameras for IR. The EVF is very helpful for any of the MF lenses I use for IR.
I've got a deep bench of Fuji gear and honestly I question why I ever got anything past my X-T2. That camera was when Fujifilm had digital pretty well figured out. Really my only misgiving with it is crop sensor, but only because I prefer working with manual focus vintage lenses. So I went to Sony A7iii body and usually use a Rokkor 58mm lens. If I were to reboot, I could completely see having something like an X-T2 or X-T3 with a Voigtlander Nokton 35mm (modern manual focus lens made for Fuji body) and *nothing else*.
Right now fujifilm prices are all over the place. The xt3 was my first Fuji I bought in 2020 for about $900. The price hasn’t come down that much. In terms of pure value, the xs10 and xt30 are better value. But the xt3 is a solid camera. Just depends on the deals you find.
XS10 for sure the best value.
Fuji's price also a landmine field on my region. Not a few people want to sell their gear near the launched price.
You don't need ibis for photography. This said, the Xt3 is an amazing camera 📷📷🎉📷📷
I having been using a Fuji X100T for some time now. I realise that the X100 range is for a particular 'kind' of photographer. I would love an X-T3 for the interchangeable lenses. But, there is something special about having a fixed prime and only working with that one lens and camera body. Thanks for a great video as always, and your toddler made me smile all the way through! Beautiful!
I have the X-T30 and like the image quality and the size, especially with an accessory grip. They kinda tried to go for the Leica T swipe functions, but it’s not quite as seamlessly integrated in the Fuji. I guess it’s also at the beginning of Fujifilm’s “let’s take off all the buttons and dials” movement, leading to the minimalism of the X-E4. For smaller hands, I think the X-T30 could be a good alternative to the 3, or if you like Fuji’s more minimalistic cameras
I've got the same camera and if I'll ever do more professional work I'll get myself an x-t3 with a 17-70 and keep the 30 as my second body. I tried it many times and it's beautiful
I also have the T-30 for two years now. Constantly hitting Q button and the memory card is very fiddling to get out. Was after X-E4 replacing my X70 but the rumors tricked me.
@@kenneth61 i changed the a button into af-lock
Nice concise video. I have recently purchased a near mint x-t3 from mpb in the UK for £709. A steal. I was a serious X series shooter a few years ago but sold my gear and lost my love for photography a little bit since 2017 and am just getting back into it. I purchased an x-pro 3 but didn’t gel with it and I felt I couldn’t justify the price when the X-T3 will deliver basically identical finished product and is less esoteric to use. I am so glad I ‘downgraded’ it just feels so nice. I do tend to agree about the grip, although that’s never something that really troubled me back when I had my X-T2 - but I did manage to pick up a new non-battery official grip for the X-T3 and it is a similar feeling to that which you express in the video but a lot more compact. It’s a game-changer in feel and so tastefully done. Plus it was an absolute steal at £19 from Jessops on clearance!
Currently I am also possibly having buyers remorse on my two lenses I currently own the lovely but sadly not weather sealed and a bit auto-focus shy Zeiss 32/1.8 and the also not weather sealed but cheap and cheerful XC 50-230mm. I can’t help but feel a 23mm f2 and Tamron 50-300mm for about £100 more all in would provide a lot more bang for the buck, so I may move in that direction as well. Edit: spelling
I keep thinking to sell mine but then realise that it's got everything I could ever want with perhaps the exception of IBIS and really good autofocus.
The xt3 is still a very good camera, both for video and photo. If you want to have the best autofocus with this camera, you need to use the fuji lenses, like the F2 prime. Autofocus is good with the viltrox primes, but when the subject is in movement and you're shooting continuous AF it will struggle a bit
I don't like using the bare XT3 too for photo work. I really do prefer it with the grip. But in video work, in a rig, I do prefer using the body without the grip
It struggles a lot with Fuji lenses as well unfortunately.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter less than with the viltrox
It's not miraculous tho
And also depends which Viltrox compared to which Fuji.
I use to own the XT3 and can say that I do sometimes regret selling it, considering that it's much cheaper now days might mean I need to pick it back up again!
Had X-T1 for a couple of months in the past and then sold it(was using D300 at that time). Sold my Nikon and now I'm with X100S. I would love to have X-T1 back, couple with 18-55mm maybe, since I still would want the versatility to shoot something else other than street. But for now, I'm gonna keep enjoying the X100S inside my little sling bag wherever I go.
I sold my XT-3 with the kit lens and spare batteries about 3 years and completely regret it. I've tried a new canon r10 but just couldn't get used to and I hated the fully articulated screen. Now got Nikon z50 second-hand off MPB which is nice, but again I just don't feel connected to it. I think it's time to go back to Fuji XT-3 and simply love photography again
@mattiasburling timely video for myself as I just picked up a like new X-T2 and thrown in for no additional cost - two lenses 35 F2 and 60 2.4 and a grip! I was looking at getting an X-T5 so I could have a second body to my X-E3, but the real upgrade I needed was the professional functions of the X-T design itself. I'm more of a still shooter, and I couldn't be happier. Love your enthusiasm for unique and retro gear!
So happy with the x-h1, the most comfortable grip on any fuji camera, same IQ as x-t3 and x-pro2 but with IBIS for pro video work or using a vintage telezoom. Selling for ~$600 used it's easily the best camera in that price range imo
I was gonna buy an X-T3 but the second-hand seller asked if I REALLY need the resolution or make video, and I said No to both. So I've been using an X-H1 for 3 months now xD
What a good seller that guy is.
The X-T3 is such good value. I'd even recommend the X-T2 if you only shoot photos.
I have no plan to upgrade my X-T2 soon, since I don't shoot video, or care about Eterna, Classic Negative etc. Plus, the jump from X-T1 was a lot more than the jump between 2, 3 and 4.
Personally, I only use Velvia, Astia, and Pro Neg High, the cheap 16f2.8 and 23f2. 100% worth looking into, if the T3 is still a bit pricey for the budget. I'd say it's the sweet spot for price and performance in the Fujifilm X-T line.
Be aware that Fujifilm colours aren't for everyone though.
This is easly one of the best cameras ever made. It has everything.
I've been using an X-T3 since I first got it like a month before the X-T4 came out as people were selling off X-T3s looking to upgrade when the 4 came out.
It was my first foray into mirrorless cameras after a few 1 in sensor point and shoot compacts and cheap DSLRs. To this day I have never felt the need for a new camera. It just works and the images are stunning. Love it.
I just bought this camera used as my first ever foray into photography, very excited
I still use my XT-1 always with me when I’m cycling. I have a Sony A7III and used that for events only. What I like about the XT-1 is that they are lighter than many other cameras I used in the past. I still am looking at an XH-1 as I do like the size and the IBIS for my vintage lenses. As for price the XT-1 has now increased and is very close to what I payed for 6 years ago 😊🇦🇺
In 2023, my favorite cameras still have been the X100F, X-Pro2 and XT3. Even with the newer models out 😊
Thanks Mattias! I'm looking at the Panasonic Lumix S5 in the used market. I already have the S1 and some lenses, it will be the perfect second body if I get a nice bargain on the system. I do have the X-T3 (purchased used a few months back) and absolutely adore it. It's a very versatile and powerful camera, with the lack of IBIS being the only thing that really bugs me. But since I use it primarily for photos, I have no actual complaints about it :)
How’s the S5? I’m looking for a camera for videos and photos with vintage lenses
@@sabi57 Excellent. The S5 II should be even better thanks to higher res EVF. But otherwise it's quite good. The assist tools are especially excellent :)
@@jayforcinema thanks! Unfortunately I’m quite tight with the budget haha so yeah, I have the choice between XT3 and S5
@@sabi57 As someone who has XT3 and Lumix S1, I can safely say that both are very good options. I have a set of Nikkor AI lenses and some M42 glass, which I use with both. S5 should serve you quite well, especially thanks to its IBIS and flippy screen :)
@@jayforcinema thanks ! I was wondering, when shooting videos can the shutter speed go to speeds like 1/4th or 1/15th I’m looking to shoot some step-printing like videos
haha....förstår dig med skärmen!!
Önskar att alla kameror var som Sonys nya R5
Tilt är awesome men det är också awesome att dölja skärmen helt mitt val föll på XT4 av just den anledningen.
Men jag har ju en X-pro3 med och filmar främst RUclips med min XT4!
I have the X-T2 and will not be upgrading, as I am primarily a stills photographer. However, I have just purchased an Olympus C-5050 from 2003, so I can focus on what I am capturing, rather than how many pixels I am cleverly capturing it with. There is just something about the old CCD sensor too. Nostalgic?
Looks like it’s a really nice camera.
Just bought a XT-2 for video and photo where I don’t want to carry my 6D2 and lenses. Can’t wait for it to arrive!
I wish i never sold my x-t3 for the xpro3. After my lcd dying 2 times in 2 years im done with the xpro line. Very dissapointed in how fuji is handling this and refusing to repair it outside of warranty while its clearly a design flaw.
Love mine. It ain't going anywhere
We miss Gunpowder... but it’s great seeing you enjoying being a father
Still have the XT1 and the quality can't be replicated. It really is like film but in a digital body. I also use the X20 which is just as good in a smaller form.
Är detta en bättre kamera än en xt30 och xt30ii? Skulle du kunna göra en fuji buyers guide, litar på ditt omdöme :)
I'm a bit late to this one, but for 2023 my digital purchases have been Canon 6D, Fujifilm X00T and Fujifilm X-T10. On their way out are Pentax KP, Fujiflm X-H1, X-T20 and X-E3. I just much prefer the older sensor outputs. Keeping Pentax K3, K1 ii and Fujfilm X-T1 (2 of!).
haha, haven't seen your videos for a while. Nice to see your toddler too is starring in your videos to complement Gunpowder your dog!
I've just bought used X-T3, for me goal was to have wether sealing and faster, more accurate AF sometimes (own x-e1 and x-e2s). Overall, I would prefer to take X-PRO, but it have less value for me:
X-PRO3 screen not that versatile and limits genres to shoot, it also lost d-pad buttons.
X-PRO2 fixed screen and small evf.
So with all my love to rangefinders bodies fuji pushes me to take SLR styled body.
I love my XT3 but the funny part is contrary to you, the only thing I hate is the tilt screen not being an articulating one 😆 But I use it 99% of the time for video and not photos so that's mostly why
Even on my camera for 100% video I would prefer just a tilt.
i am so UNHAPPY you headlined your thoughts on the XT3. i use and enjoy the XT1 and the XT2 and have been tracking prices of the XT3. but now that YOU made your vid, i am SURE prices will rise. UGH. couldn't you have emailed me BEFORE you posted? (BTW: wonderful to see the youngin' getting bigger!) BIG thumbs up.
Hi Mattias thanks for the video. A question. I bought a Fujifilm X-T3 two days ago and the latest update is 3.10. What should I do? install this year's latest ( 5.2 ) or the last 14 updates one at a time? Thank you
Tyanks for the video. My first camera was the X-T1 back in 2016. I then upgraded to X-H1 in 2020, but for travel I feel it is too big som I’m thinking about getting a T3 instead.
The X-T3 is often cheaper than the X-T30 II on the used market and the X-T3 is a much more advanced body (4K/50p, weather sealed, better EVF, dual card slot, better controls). The X-T30 II has one more built-in film simulation mode and some more "Jpeg recipe" options, but I don't think those are worthy trade-offs. The X-T3 is the best value used camera around 750 euros, the only feature that I miss is the IBIS.
Since I picked up an X100F for GBP 300 last year my older X100T is now surplus to requirements. In the current market I can pick up a like new X-H1 for slightly less than I'm being offered for the X100T which I see as a very worthwhile trade/upgrade for my long term requirements.
Still rocking two XT-3 bodies with battery grips & way too many excellent Fujifilm lenses. When the XT-3 was released, I sold all my Canon cameras & numerous Canon “L” lenses & moved to Fuji. Value for dollars spent is exceptional, for Fuji cameras & their lenses, IMHO.😊
2023 will be the year i go to Olympus cameras, because of two things, the resistence, and the reach of m43 lenses. In my country capital, Brasilia, i had a job to photograph the new president, and at somepoint, the firefighters throw water on the people because of the heat of the sun. My Nikon got wet, didnt damage, but if i had a full rughed camera, i would be more confident and stayed on that place with the perfect frame, but instead, i have run of fear, and got my self in a worse position, got the photo, but not that photo.
X-T4 if you shoot video
I advise looking at alternatives. Fuji for primarily video won’t suit everyone.
I'm looking to switch from Sony to Fuji. I just checked out eBay and a used XT3 is going for $800 - $1500😮
eBay is not a good place to look.
I have the 1d mk iv which I got at a phenomenal price.. Seeing as the camera is like 13 years old 😅😅😅. I love it and never imagined I would own one! But it is large and I want to have it on me more than I do etc etc.. It’s not that it’s too heavy for me, it’s just bulky, which I know sounds similar, lol. If I could keep that camera and buy a 5d mk iii (realistically, not ideally, ideally would be the 5d mk iv). The tones on those older Canon cameras is unmatched by the newer ones. They were trying to replicate the look of film all the way up until the 5d iii, IMO at least. And that’s what made them so beautiful to shoot.
Picked up an XE1 a couple months ago as my first foray into the Fuji ecosystem and I’ve been loving it, really interested in getting an XH1 someday.
Great video and great camera.
Actually wasn't convinced by either X-T4 or X-T5 and happily keep the XT-3. The XT-5 was close but the 40 megapixels on one calles for better lenses whole the body itself and the lack of battery grip does feel a bit cheap in comparison with X-T2/X-T3 in hand.
I got a new xt-3 camera a few months before the pandemic, and even though I had to change the screen and the circuit recently (300 euros, ouch) I think it's a great camera. I was a little afraid as I do concert photography and going from full frame (Nikon D600 for me) to aps-c was a challenge regarding low light, but it's been rewarding anyway. Regarding the sensor, I love its quality so much that i'm getting an x-e4 as soon as Fuji decides to deliver some bodies to Barcelona.
Looking at the Leica Q-2 and the Fuji X-100V. Can't afford the Q but oooooo it's nice. Just whish these two had changeable lenses.
I currently own an XT30. Got it for a ridiculously low price on Fb marketplace. I am tempted to upgrade to an XT30-ii (if one comes for a good price that requires me to spend $100 more after I sell the XT30) just for the faster autofocus as some of the action photos I take, especially slow moving cars come out as out-of-focus on the XT30. I am also considering holding onto the XT30 for another year to upgrade to an XT4 (ibis helps a bit) when those prices start to come down hopefully!
Im shooting my first wedding with an xt3 but im having troubles focusing on 2 people walking down the isle towards me, any advise with the settings or what to do ?
I hope Fujifilm will release X-pro4 for 2023, so I can target X-pro3 from people who will offload and upgrade. But for now, X-T2 is nore than enough.
Lovely video. I'm an Xpro2 user, video is pretty good. Need video Fuji, thinking XH1 or XT3.
I have the Fuji X-T3 and have no need to update to more megapixels. I like the screen, dials and joystick, changing it seems like a downgrade for me. The focus and dynamic range can be a reason to upgrade.
I wish Fujifilm would update or reintroduce the X70. That was a truly lovely camera that I took everywhere. It was very pocketable too.
Oh man. If I did not start shooting a little 35mm film this past year, I would definitely go for an x-t3 now.
Film is expensive. :P
is xt3 woth choosing over a xt1 or xt2?
Still rocking the x-t2, love this camera. If I have to buy a new one it would probably be the x-t3 or the x-pro 3(but it is still to expensive)
My budget camera for this year was the Nikon Z 5 + Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 lens. Would love to see a review from you. (if possible)
My question is: is it really worth it to upgrade to any of the newer X-T or X-H series? Yeah the AF seems faster but what about high ISO performance? Is it any better? Is there any real upgrade except IBIS?
I still love my xt-2 and it does everything I need it too no need to upgrade for me.
Hi Mattias. I bought this camera together with battery grip at the end of 2022, second hand but looks like a brand new and I think that it is the awesome piece of gear. I am also recommending it on my channel as well. Great camera for the money these days. Cheers!
I got one secondhand off EBay for only £400. Absolute bargain!
Nice! Just paid £600 but that includes TTartisan 35mm f1.4 and 32gb ExtremePro, 5145 shutter count.
I have said this many times, but Fujifilm is the only brand that tempts me away from Olympus/OMS.
Thanks for the video! I always have a camera with me so small is important. I do not think I am going for more cameras in 2023 - but you never know. Have used a lot of older Canon compacts this year like S95 and G7X so the Fuji XF10 is on my list and the Sony ZV1, and ......
I'm torn between the X-T3 and the X-E4, different strengths I know. Oh, and your young assistant is delightful. Thanks for posting, hope 2023 is a good one for you.
I'm trying to pick up a Panasonic GX85 for a super compact M43 travel kit :)
Really finding your reviews extremely Helpful! I appreciate the way you cut through the hype of the many cameras out here. I would like to ask you, can you recommend any camera or cameras to look into, that is Compact ( emphasis on that haha) or as Compact as possible, that I can use for mostly street , landscape, mostly, but can handle capturing fast , speeding vehicles, motorcycles , even some running or flying wildlife... a hybrid of sorts.. does something like this exist? It can be interchangeable lense or not. Thnak you in advance.
Het, glad you enjoy my reviews.
It depends on how compact you want. For flying wildlife you will need a pretty long lens that won’t be very compact. But a m4/3 camera will be as compact as it gets and can do all of it with the right lens. A GX9 isn’t too expensive used these days. But if you don’t mind bigger there is a number of GH and EM cameras in various prices.
Another line that’s small but fast is Sony a6000-a6700. Used some of them are very affordable. The lens needed for birds however will be quite massive compared to a m4/3 counterpart.
I think I will make this question into a video 👍
@mattiasburling Mattias! Wow, I GREATLY appreciate your reply! You're the first host who has responded with names to cameras. Immensely Helpful and Thankful to you for doing so. I'll say that for me, definitely the more compact the better. I had a guess that the lenses for wildlife would be laaaarge, but perhaps shooting fast wildlife life isn't a priority for me honestly, it would be on a super rare occasion. More so , I would like it to be able to capture, speeding cars, trains or the subway plus light n compact as possible to take on trips and catch vaca photos. I will definitely look into these cameras that u recommended and Definitely a video of yours would be highly appreciated. Perhaps if you could also mention not only some cameras, but also some general specs to look for In cameras and lenses that would work best for these types of scenarios? Thank again. Much continued success.
Your little one is starting to try and walk! That’s beautiful! Oh yeah the Fuji XT3 seems nice too.
Literally just picked this up. Managed to get a couple of lenses too, given the low price of the camera.
I'm looking for a using Ricoh GRIII, they cost almost half on the used market, but there are not many of them on offer.
Hey Mattias, I'm sure it has been said but, really nice video and also, really gorgeous shots!
